RE: Softimage crash when loading a 2gb scene
Hi Guys, Is it possible to send us a 2gb scene? Make it available at dropbox or something... We are doing some investigation to see what we can do to this defect. Keep the files coming...

The scene opens fine up until a point where I load one more object and once saved the file goes above 2gb in size (at 1.9gb it was openning fine). It doesn't seems to be the object itself since I made some test with different props. It always happen when the file size is above 2gb. When it does, it just doesn't load, Softimage crash while loading. I'll keep doing more test to make sure it's not one of my objects that's causing the problem..but well...

RE: Softimage crash when loading a 2gb scene
Forgot to mention that it would be better to give us a working file (before it hits the 2gb data) which can be opened and tell us what steps you did to make it not working when you tried to reopen again... Just provide the link to your dropbox here :D Chris -Original Message- From: softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com [mailto:softimage-boun...@listproc.autodesk.com] On Behalf Of Chris Chia Sent: Monday, November 26, 2012 5:58 PM To: softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: RE: Softimage crash when loading a 2gb scene Hi Guys, Is it possible to send us a 2gb scene?

External Python not working on some machines
Hey List, we're having some issues where attempting to use external python on *some* machines means soft crashes on startup. What's wierd is all machines are the same hardware, and the same python install. Python install is 2.7.4, pywin32-217. Anyone got any ideas what could be causing the crash - I'm getting nothing from soft as it crashes on startup. Many thanks, Jules
Re: Softimage Picker
Thanks Jo! We will do that if the speed is a problem. Thanks!

A lot of people want to do part of a selection in the viewport quickly, and then add a few missing, or easier to retrieve, bits clicking around in the character pane. Doing it with events isn't a huge drag, it only kicks in at selection time in the viewport, and it's most likely done with a monitor job in Maya, which tends to have comparable lag, so if people find it ok in one they will most likely be fine with the other's.

Re: Softimage crash when loading a 2gb scene
Last I tried to repro that, but it was a while ago, just duplicating geometry ad nauseam until the scene file inflated enough was hit and miss. Making a deep hierarchy of nulls, duplicating it, and daisy chain constraining it a few times (dozens) and having the geo under that though would always mess things up bang on at the file size limit mark. You can give that a shot, maybe it still works, or rather, doesn't :) On Mon, Nov 26, 2012 at 9:01 PM, Chris Chia chris.c...@autodesk.com wrote: Forgot to mention that it would be better to give us a working file (before it hits the 2gb data) which can be opened and tell us what steps you did to make it not working when you tried to reopen again...
